The explanation for T2D from the PDF paper from your own link explicitly singles out carbs and explains why they are critical to causing the disease process you describe.

> During any one period of time, if more calories are ingested than metabolized then any fat excess is stored either subcutaneously, viscerally or in the liver. But any excess carbohydrate cannot be stored once the glycogen depots are full. If more glucose is ingested than can be oxidized for energy or stored as glycogen, it has to be turned into fat by the process of de novo lipogenesis. This process only happens in the liver in humans, and triglyceride synthesized in situ is particularly likely to be stored in hepatocytes rather than exported for safe storage in subcutaneous adipose tissue.

> The newly synthesized fat has three possible fates: it can be oxidized for energy; exported as VLDL in the plasma to be delivered to other tissues or it can be stored in a rather full liver. As de novo lipogenesis is stimulated by insulin, those people who are relatively insulin resistant in muscle—and who therefore have a raised plasma insulin level—are especially likely to accumulate fat in the liver. This could explain the reason why muscle insulin resistance is the first detectable signal of risk for Type 2 diabetes.

Kind of amazing that I'm working on new product plans right now and they still look exactly the same. The #s are 1,000-10,000x higher (quantity and dollars), but the concerns are still the same.
O/T but one of this guy's advisers is a "TEPCO professor of Nuclear Engineering" ... oof. This paper was published in 2015 too. A bit like having the Morton Thiokol Professor of Spacecraft Engineering. You'd think they'd give the money back or at least change the name...
It doesn't work on real software though. Anything non-trivial.
The w3techs number is often quoted, but it has never been validated by anybody else, and its methodology is very questionable if not flat out wrong.
this is quite worrying for OpenAI as the rate token prices have been plummeting thanks to Meta and its going to have to keep cutting its prices while capex remains flat. whatever Sam says in interviews just think the opposite and the whole picture comes together.

It's almost a mathematical certainty that people who invested in OpenAI will need to reincarnate in multiple universes to ever see that money again but no bother many are probably NVIDIA stock holders to even out the damage.

What about effects on the overall market?

If large landlords (like the company that bragged about owning 80,000 units) are colluding amongst themselves, then won't property owners not directly colluding also raise prices?

Positive rights implies the right to slaves. If one has a right to a house, they have a right to make someone build them a house.

Now, societies can choose to provide services which are not rights.
Seconded. That Radiolab episode is one of the better ones I've listen to.

Mostly because it's laid out as "But that begs yet another question...", to which the answer is equally fascinating.

Also, it was just satisfying having a story with an ending: cause, found.
> Perhaps... it was the transition of an energy source to precise rotary motion (such as is used on pottery wheels and presumably very early lathes and grinding equipment) which sparked the industrial revolution and the modern era.

possibly, but very early lathes are at least new kingdom and probably old kingdom egypt, so if so it took over 3000 years for that spark to blaze. grinding is much older than that, 44000 years old in australia

precision grinding was crucial to making the pyramids, though those aren't pre-metal. it's also useful for keeping mice out of your stored grain. generally, imprecise construction is liable to collapse on people and kill them, so you'd expect to find precision measurement as soon as you find cities (neolithic), but that is more speculative

The idea is to serve models that would normally be considered too large for GPU memory (70 billion parameters at 16 bytes each for 140 GB of memory required). Some people figured out you can offload the model and only have parts of it loaded so a 24 GB GPU like the 4090 can still serve the model, but it goes a lot slower. They have a new way to serve the same model on the same GPU but 8x better throughput. Something about decoding tokens on a smaller model maybe, then just checking multiple tokens on the larger model in a single batch. Magic, but ultimately its the same model, same GPU, same output as before, but much better throughout.

In England we definitely use wood in pretty much all houses. The roof trusses, the partition walls, the floorboards, beams to hold the ceiling/upstairs, fixtures (kitchen and bathroom fitted cabinets), doors etc.

I would guess the person you’re responding to doesn’t mean the hidden bits, as I’ve spent time in Spain and definitely come across wood in new buildings.

A potential reason for less obvious wood, Spain has less requirement for insulation than the UK and would benefit from slimmer walled, brick/concrete houses with no wooden partitions holding insulation for cooler temperatures during their peak heat.
I suspect that when it costs 0.5c per 100 million generated token, and you can generate 1000 tokens per second, they'll be very happy.

Yes, the textual IR format is not an API. It's an internal implementation detail which changes somewhat rapidly. It's well specified but there's no guarantees that if you write some IR which works in LLVM 16 that it'll work as expected in LLVM 17, etc. Inside of LLVM itself IR and its related manipulation and analysis functions are "API" in so far as there's an expectation that if you change how the IR works that you won't break existing in-tree passes/that you'll work with maintainers to fix them.

You can look at the Riko Diq case [1] from Pakistan. It is one of the largest copper deposits in the world. In the 90s the Balochistan provincial governments granted a foreign corporation rights to explore the region. It's quite clear that this foreign corporation bribed local politicians/officers to get these rights.

It was ruled in 2013 by the Pakistan Supreme Court that this agreement was contrary to Pakistani law, and it was improper enough that it be dissolved.

However, the foreign corporation sued at a World Bank court and was awarded damages of 11 billion USD. Pakistan's economy cannot pay this amount, and so a backroom deal was struck 2 years ago, in which Pakistan had to allow the corporation to start its mining operations, though with a somewhat better deal for Pakistan [2].

The lesson here is that, by greasing the right palms in a weak country, a corporation can basically get Western controlled international organizations to overrule the entire legal apparatus of the weak country. In other words, the regular people of Pakistan are being punished by international organizations for the actions of a few dirty apples among them.

> or accept that your perceptions of subjectivity are not a direct perception of reality and thus illusory.

I see now that we're using the word "illusion" in different ways and talking past each other.

I agree that qualia are not a direct or accurate experience of reality. Dreams consist of qualia, but most people would not argue that what happens in their dreams must actually be happening.

What is not illusory is the fact that subjective experience exists, and that's the sense in which I use the word. I and everyone else (I presume) experience qualia. The fact that the content of consciousness consists of illusions is undoubtedly correct and quite easy to demonstrate, but that is a different and unrelated matter. It is also unsurprising, since what we actually experience is presumably derived from the inner physical state of our brain, which is at best only a proxy for the reality of our surroundings.

I do not believe that Dennett himself actually makes this distinction. He seems to sometimes ignore and sometimes outright deny the existence of qualia, which is an absolutely baffling position for any introspective conscious being to take.

In regards to whether qualia are compatible with materialism, I will just point out that if a scientific theory denies the existence of a thing that obviously exists, then the problem is with the theory, not the thing. I can think of nothing more un-scientific than insisting on the theory just to spite reality for not conforming to our materialist ideals.
If RFI interference is the actual problem, this is a terrible bill because it does nothing to limit that. Regulate for the actual problem; unintended consequences will always have other unintended consequences.
The private data mentioned in the lawsuits is about how, daily, realpage-set prices (and probably YieldStar as well) contribute their prices to a shared database. I wouldn't say this is actually "private" data because they only do so after rents are set and after they've appeared publicly on the properties' leasing portals and/or websites. It's basically a way to avoid Realpage from having to scrape their own rent data from their own customers' websites nightly (and from having to do so multiple times for each property that is pulling comparison data to use for the upcoming nightly rent determination).

note that realpage isn't using same-day rent prices to enable undercutting or colluding on prices amongst different properties, so you won't find Property As 2br2ba unit costing the exact same amount as neighboring propertys 2br2ba unit on the basis of preventing price competition.

As I understand it, the DOJ's basis is that it's illegal to use an algorithm that is both deterministic and also is using said "comparison data" from properties that use the same algorithm. Is this really a sound legal strategy? Algorithms are only algorithms because they're deterministic; if they're not then you've made some form of a ML model.

This sounds like apartment communities could only use an algorithm to ingest comp prices and make rent decisions if they commissioned a new bespoke algorithm that can only ever be used by them (what happens if the algorithm supplier copies and pastes code? Or delivers basically the same product with only changes to a seed value?)
Labeling insulin resistance as a "risk factor" is correct only in a narrow, technical sense. That's not helpful for patients and clinicians who need to make treatment decisions in the real world. The terminology is irrelevant. Instead of getting hung up on semantics you need to spend some time learning the basics of human metabolism and the endocrine system.

Insulin resistance is a risk factor in the same way that a growing malignant tumor is a risk factor: unless you expect to die soon from something else you should take urgent measures to fix it. While a HbA1c test isn't perfect, it's pretty good as a cheap and easy initial screening for insulin resistance. If you want to believe that it's some kind of "scam" then I don't know how to help you.

The average US person today has at least some level of metabolic problems. Playing games with statistics won't change that reality or the negative long-term outcomes.

I'm not sure that's the right question to ask. Afaik ROCm is the name of that entire tech stack and HIP is AMD's equivalent to CUDA C++ (they basically replicated the API and replaced every "CUDA" by "hip", they have functions called "hipmalloc" and "hipmemcpy").

> Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) has been ramping for a decade, with "no cobalt" as a selling point.

"No cobalt", plus safety, plus longevity (2,000 .. 3,000) cycles. BYD is claiming purchasers can expect 25 years battery life in the LFP cars. We will see I guess, but the math works out. In Australia we typically drive under 15,000 km a year. Assume the car has a 60 kWh battery, and that gets you 300 km. 2,000 [cycles / battery] * 300 [km / cycle] / 15,000 [km / year ] = 40 [years / battery]. So, no battery replacements for the life of a typical car. The USA drives their cars 25,000 km in a year, which works out at a typical 24 year lifetime for them.

The only reason I can see for the slow uptake of LFP in the USA is it was invented there, and the USA respects the patent. It's just recently expired. If that's true reason it's a fine example of patents holding back the economic development of a country.

Oh don't worry, some day JavaScript will as stagnant as PHP, too. Just wait, time flies.

If it's a stable environment that runs old code you want, then if I had my way we'd all be programming interactive distributed network extensible web apps in PostScript instead of JavaScript, and that language has been stagnant for a much longer time than PHP has ever existed (13 years before PHP 1.0 was released in 1995), since you can still print and view all of your old PostScript documents from 1982, 42 years ago.

AM and FM radio at least in the US refer to both the modulation and the frequency bands.

AM is 530 kHz – 1700 kHz, using 10 kHz spacing

FM is 87.9 MHz to 107.9 Mhz with 200kHz spacing.

IMHO, there are enough AM driver information stations that I would be upset when I eventually learned I couldn't receive them on a car with no AM radio. But it might take several years for that (especially if it's an EV; I'm not taking that into the mountains, probably)
Using half your fingers is different from using two.
It would be interesting to generalize this with the operations available in the riscv bitmanip extension-- it might discover some strong functions for use in the future when those instructions are more widely available.

carryless multiply would also allow extending the set of reversible operations and are fast on some existent hardware (CRC too, somewhat a wider set of hardware but should be a strict subset of what CLMUL could find).

Many applications of hashes only care about the LSB or MSB of the hashes so evaluating the bias on MSB or LSB windows would be interesting (or mod varrious numbers), and some overall unbiased functions will look better or worse for metrics that don't gauge the entire output. (or for non-uniform inputs, for that matter, e.g. ascii text).
Interesting points. But remember, 3,000 years is only ~60 generations which considering the low populations in history - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prehistoric_demography - was actually quite rapid in aggregate human experience terms relative to, say, five years today.
It’s certainly not orders of magnitudes higher.

A S21 Hydro can do a terahash for 16 joules.

At the current difficulty, you need approx 525,000 kWh to mine a bitcoin.

At $0.16 a kWh, you’re looking at $84k to mine a bitcoin, worth $63k. That’s not orders of magnitudes higher.

If you can get cheaper electricity and are willing to pay the capex then you can make a profit.

Managed to became tech lead 5 years ago, but went back to just development due to burnout.

I have never applied any algorithm or particular data structure and I have never worked really really hard, beyond "just" coding.

Now I feel I have wasted all my best years and left with some coding skills that will become obsolete in a few years (if I 'm lucky).
